Looking at their Spot feed, it seems they decided to go due south of Puerto Rico. Lets see where they dock. Hope they pass by Ponce and say hello! jeje. Great trip and thread!

The day started off so unbelievably nice back at Puerto Plata. The beauracracy there is nuts. Contrary to what I was told, no bribes were asked for. I did tip them tho and they are looking forward to our return. :) We did not get away till after 11 AM and that made it tough to do 300 miles to San Juan. After the first 40 miles the weather turned real nasty on us. A front came thru with wind, rain and seas picking up. For half the day we could only run 35 to 40 MPH safely. Every half hour the seas would change on us. 3 times I altered our course between the north and south shore of PR. After I concluded we could not get settled into a slip in San Juan before dark, I decided to head for the south shore which was the right thing to do.
I think we will just hang here for tomorrow and head across to BVI and get settled in there Thursday. I still have some steering issues that need looked at and there are mechanics here so will take care of that as well.
I will check our mileage but think it was in the neighborhood of about 240 - 260 miles which was decent given the conditions.
I will have to leave it to Jay to post pics. I had my hands full driving today
